I have used this week's challenge as part of my "Painting-a-Day" month, which is being documented on my other blog. This work is my first attempt at using sgraffito to create a whole work. It is a really enjoyable technique which I've brought across from my ceramics days and I love the way you can create such fine lines. It does place a heavy emphasis on drawing skills, and need to practise these to develop a style I am happy with. I don't really like the look of background, but it does seem to express the chaos of "rising from the ashes".
